Vides quo pa&ovbique peccato

Atqui fcopus vbiqi Paulo eft hanc ele-

Nam hanc veriti ludafi ac trementes,

fratres quod lex dominetur homini

morificati eftis legi. Itaque fi de naturali
lege h*c dida font, inueniemur
naturalem non habere legem: quod fi
hoc verum eft, irrationalibus infipien-

De ea verb qua: in paradifo data eft, no

Quum hoc dicit, non omnimodam in-
